A sum of Rs 2.1 crore has been donated to the Lord Venkateswara's shrine in Tirumala by a Chennai-based company, an official of the temple said on Sunday.
The shrine of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala Hills, near Tirupati, has netted an income of Rs 7.5 crore in the last two weeks since the temple was re-opened on June 11.
After an over 80-day COVID-19 lockdown, the sacred Hundi (offering box) at the famous hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala here fetched about Rs 43 lakh in cash on the reopening day on June 11, a temple official said.
After remaining closed for nearly 80 days due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lord Venkateswara temple at Tirumala reopened its doors for common devotees on Thursday, with strict precautionary measures like wearing of masks and maintaining social distance put in place.
A three day trial run of darshan began at Lord Venkateswara temple at Tirumala on Monday with staff and others attached to it following strict protective measures.
Even before the row over the auction of properties belonging to Andhra Pradesh's Tirumala temple could completely die down, a fresh controversy has embroiled the famous hill shrine.
The government of Andhra Pradesh on Monday stepped in to put on hold the proposed sale of unviable assets belonging to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD).
To revive its financial condition, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has decided to auction 50 immovable properties in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Uttarakhand.
